My Bead Soup Blog Party Design...WELCOME!!!



 7th Bead Soup Blog Party!  Welcome to my blog!





I changed my design a couple of times.  Here is the first idea that I had-I just didn't like the fiber along the side of the necklace.  So, it had to go away.


 So, I played a little more and my final design is this---



 




 I wrapped a filigree piece around the heart to create a necklace that could be worn two ways.  I used azurite beads to pick up the blue and green in the focal heart and faceted crystal quartz to accent the beads.  I created 'heart' looking wire findings to connect the elements.  I made a double strand from the silver tube bead up to where the chain is attached.  I integrated the glass beads into a stack of bracelets.  I used the fiber that Cheri wrapped around my box to create one bracelet-just wrapped the fiber and used copper wire to hold it together.  There are a bunch of other pieces that make up the bunch of bracelets.  It was fun, fun, fun.  I so appreciate what Lori Anderson has done over the years.  This was the first time that I participated in the Bead Soup Blog Party and I hope not my last.  Lori deserves major kudos and praise beyond this world.  I truly do appreciate her dedication and vast amounts of time that she has committed to this project.  Thank you, Lori!
 God Bless You.

Her blog is CreativeDesignsbyCheri.blogspot.com. Her Bead Soup will be listed tomorrow, April 14th. She needed a little help with her photos. So, please check back to see what Cheri has designed. We would appreciate it!!!
